Junior High Teacher Resigns Over Harrison School Policy The first reaction of staff members to mouriting problems at Harrison school is the resignation of Randall Josserand, highly regarded junior high teacher. His letter of resignation was read at the last District 36 school board meeting, and came after previous costcutting actions involving educational activities. Josserand said later in an interview that some board members asked him to reconsider. He indicated he might, but would not accept his previously cut extra pay if he decided to stay. Professional attitude rather than money was the primary concern that prompted the resignation, he said. Extra pay for special services amounting to $1,000 was eliminated from contracts of several teachers as the board pressed for solutions to the district's deficit. Anticipated Deficit It is virtually a foregone conclusion the district will be close to $37,000 in the red by year end, June 30, with little hope of getting advanced tax funds usually available in May, Supt. Merl F. Thomas reported. Word that the county this year is two months late in issuing tax bills (making first payment now due Aug. 1 instead of June 1) almost certainly closes the door to advanced funds to help pay this year's school bills. Advanced tax funds actually are for the next school year beginning July 1, but can be applied to the current year if the billing was on its usual April 1 schedule. The board voted unanimously with all members present to authorize Thomas to arrange a tax anticipation bank loan up to $26,000 to carry the distinct until June 1. Thomas can draw against this borrowing as needed during March, April and May. Another financing warrant may be needed to pay year-end bills during June. Thomas reported $2,100 in back taxes collected during February, and $106 due in text book rental fees. This leaves a $1,555 balance due on books this year. Act On Text Books The board voted 6 to 1, Dr. Raymond H. Watkins opposing, to withhold textboks next year from students whose parents owe fees for this year, if left unpaid. The motion also provides that the present textbook policy, deferred payment plans and hardship arrangements will remain unchanged. Graduating • students whose ' ook fees are unpaid can have ;heir diplomas withheld. Some compromises began to nppear in board actions and tisrussions that relate to the lcficit and previously defeated tax veferendums. Dr. S. L. Ruggero, president, moved and Henry Setzler seconded a motion originated by Dr. Watkins to re-open the school building to use by outside groups. This was defeated 4 to 3, opposed by Mrs. Jay Hansen, William Cristy, Joseph Sullivan and Wilbur Haak. James L. Bixby, non-board member organizing chairman of a citizens' referendum committee, suggested the board consider a policy of reverting to a status quo that existed before cuts were made, and adopt a policy of deficit financing for one year. This would give the committee a year to try to persuade the community to vote additional funds to pay off the deficit over a period of time, while relieving the financial pressures now confronting the school. Motion Falls Dr. Ruggero, who previously had favored a deficit financing move as a last resort to assure youngsters a sound education at Harrison, made the motion, but it failed for lack of a second- In other board action, Thomas was Authorized to draw up the budget for 1965-66 to be presented to the public next September; set the 1964-65 calendar with registration Sept. 3, first school day Sept. 8, and last day and graduation June 11 (this schedule coinciding with McHenry); prepare for the school board election April 11, and to canvass the ballot and organize the new board April 21, a regular board meeting night. Voters in the school district election, Thomas noted, must be registered voters and reside in the district and meet all other voter qualifications. Each will sign an affidavit rather than a poll book. This change of law last year requiring voter registration came just a few days before the last referendum, and caused considerable consternation because time did not permit adequate notification to the public beforehand. 4-H WINDOW DISPLAYS Window displays carrying out the theme, "Leaders of Tomorrow," have been attracting admiring glances in local store windows. Among them were those of the Cherry Valley club, the Busy Three and the Ringwood Sunshine Girls.

(1 Mile East of the .Skyline Drive-In) PLAN EXPANDED SUMMER SCHOOL STUDY PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) decided to inaugurate a book rental system in which pupils will pay a rental charge for text books rather than purchasing them. Until this time, books were turned in at the end of each year for a credit slip toward the next grade books. Study Heat Conversion A discussion of the conversion of oil burner furnaces 1o gas burners was held. It was voted to employ an engineer to inspect the furnaces and to draw plans and specifications to be submitted to bidders if the board decides the plan is feasible. The firm of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Co. was approved to audit the 1963-64 records of the district. An o.k., was also given for a dental health education program to be conducted in the near future. Approval was given for Miss Helen Curran, curriculum coordinator, to attend the National Curriculum Conference in Miami during April. District 156 has also approved, and the cost will* be shared equally by both districts. A contract for Mrs. Elaine Schmaling to teach fourth grade at Edgebrook school in 1964-65 was approved. The resignations of Arlyn Day and Mrs. Rose Suffoletto were accepted. ESTABLISH NEW COMMISSION FOR COURTHOUSE (Continued From Page 1) unexpired term of Mr. Lush. Joseph Krabb, also of Harvard, will replace Shields. The resignation of David Joslyn from the Northeastern Plan Commission was announced, effective "May 1. There has been jio replacement made. . A request made last month for $10,000 to be > included in an appropriation each-year for the county mental health program was referred to the claims and general assistance commit; tee at that time. In the meantime^ legal opinion wad obtained^ stating that such aVi allocation cannot be made iivithout a referendum similar to the tuberculosis tax which was approved many years ago. The board approved the expenditure of $3,000 for con* struction of a Jiew bridge oh Ringwood road. CONTINUE DKiVK William Pictor, chairman of the McHenry Red Cross drive, reminds the public that the March drive will continue throughout the month. He is pleased with its success to date, especially in the business sections.
